Chapter 245: New Record 2
"I'm not going to let them set any new bullshit records on my turf!"
After dropping these words, Roy Keane hurriedly left the scene of the pre-match press conference. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Manchester United's game against Sunderland will not only be about whether Manchester United can set a new winning streak, but also about the first meeting between Ferguson and Roy Keane in the league.
After leaving Manchester United, Roy Keane joined Scottish Celtic and announced his retirement as soon as his contract expired.
Since then, he has been the manager of Sunderland and has led Sunderland to the Premier League in his first season.
It's just that in their first season in the Premier League, they didn't do much. After 18 rounds, only 3 wins and 4 draws have been achieved, ranking third from the bottom of the standings, deep in the relegation zone.
At the beginning of the season, in the 5th round of the league, Sunderland visited Old Trafford, which was supposed to stage a good drama of Roy Keane's return to Old Trafford, the master-apprentice fight, but in the 4th round of the game against Liverpool, Roy Keane was dissatisfied with the referee's decision and angrily insulted the referee and was banned, missing the good scene of the master-apprentice reunion.
Roy Keane left United in November 2005 with anger and regret, and he officially broke with Alex Ferguson.
If that's the case, it's not hard to see why Roy Keane would say such things in his pre-match press conference.
But that wasn't the case, and after Roy Keane made the decision to retire in May 2006, Alex Ferguson gave him a farewell match at Old Trafford.
The reason for saying this is because Roy Keane has embraced Ferguson's winning spirit. After more than ten years of experience, it is not difficult to find the shadow of Ferguson in Roy Keane's coaching style, for him, no matter who the opponent is, how strong the opponent is, he pursues victory.
On the court, there are just opponents and no friends. But off the field, friends are always friends.
Before the game, all the players of the Manchester United squad sent their best wishes to the veteran captain Roy Keane in the players' tunnel.
Ferguson and Roy Keane hugged in the tunnel and caused a lot of people.
This harmonious scene dissipated as the game began.
Sunderland's grades were very poor and Ferguson was very sympathetic to his disciples. But with the football spirit of pursuing victory, Ferguson will not give up the three points. It doesn't matter if you say he's here to set a new record for bullshit, that's what he thinks anyway, and it's a very cool thing to break Arsenal's record.
So he is also the main force in this game.
Up front is a strong combination of Wayne Rooney and King Dong.
In midfield, Yu Liang partnered Carrick, and Ronaldo and Nani were separated on the wings. Yu Liang's outstanding performance has managed to squeeze Scholes on the bench. That's the cruelty of professional football.
Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic partnered in central defence, with Brown and O'Shea splitting each other.
In the goalkeeper's position, Kuczzak replaced Van der Sar, who had a poor performance in the previous game. After a series of fierce battles, the veteran also needs to rest.
After picking the side, Manchester United kicked off first.
Yu Liang received a knock back from Rooney in the midfield, and when he was just adjusting to prepare for the pass, he was directly knocked to the ground by the Sunderland striker.
Foul on the come?
Yu Liang watched the referee warn Sunderland's strikers there, and his mind was a little dazed. Although Yu Liang's professional football career is not very long, he has never seen such a kicker. How can anyone come up and not kick the ball and kick people directly.
Looking at Roy Keane, who was applauding on the sidelines, Yu Liang estimated that Sunderland really got Keane's true biography.
No matter how you play, you can't lose in the first place.
Sunderland's performance responded to Yu Liang's conjecture.
Their tough and tenacious style gave Manchester United a bit of a headache. In the opening ten minutes, United were unable to organise an effective attack.
As predicted by the media before the game, Sunderland will be looking to cause problems for United at home.
Sunderland are third from bottom in the Premier League. But they didn't play badly at home, with three wins and two draws in eight home games.
But that's just to cause trouble, they don't have the strength to take Manchester United down.
After adapting to Sunderland's tough style of play, Manchester United's attack began to show a threat.
In the 20th minute, Brown cut in from the right and sent a through ball, Rooney received the ball in front of the field and quickly got rid of the defender, and shot from the right side of the penalty area into the bottom corner of the goal, giving United the lead.
Manchester United's goal directly shattered Sunderland's confidence.
No matter how Roy Keane moves around on the sidelines, it still doesn't help.
Taking advantage of the confusion at the back, United scored twice in the final fifteen minutes of the first half to make it 3-0 before half-time. In the 30th minute, King Dong received a cross from Wayne Rooney and fired into the net to score his eighth Premier League goal of the season.
In the second half, the three-goal lead slowed down the tempo of Manchester United's attack.
No matter what, I have to give the old captain a face, I can't let him lose too ugly.
Although Manchester United have slowed down the pace of attack, Sunderland, who have lost their confidence, have not been able to play a decent attack. Even Roy Keane's constant deployment on the sidelines has not been able to change the situation.
The game became uneventful, with a Sunderland player delivering a penalty in the box in the 86th minute of the second half, which substitute Saha converted to make it 4-0.
That scoreline was maintained until the end of the game, with Manchester United beating Sunderland 4-0 to make it 15 wins in a row, the longest winning streak in the Premier League and the longest winning streak in franchise history.
There was an immediate burst of applause at the Stadium of Light, a blessing from Sunderland fans to Manchester United.
Roy Keane was in a bad mood after the loss, but he still sent his best wishes to his mentor Alex Ferguson.
15 consecutive wins are gratifying, but at the end of the game, Yu Liang couldn't laugh.
In the first 20 minutes of the first half, he did nothing under the tough defence of Sunderland's players. Had it not been for Wayne Rooney's goal that shattered Sunderland's confidence, he didn't know if he would have been able to hold out until the end of the game.
Standing on the sidelines, he applauded and thanked the fans who accompanied the team with a blank face, as if this big victory had nothing to do with him.
"Hey man!"
Roy Keane patted Yu Liang on the shoulder.
For this young man who once took over his mantle, he has always been not very optimistic.
For no other reason, the body is too thin.
Even if Yu Liang has achieved success in the Premier League, in Keane's eyes, it is still not enough.
"Hey, Captain!"
Yu Liang said hello, he only thought that Keane and his former teammates were catching up.
But the next words surprised Yu Liang a little.
"Boy, as a footballer, you have to stand the collision. You're a man, you have to be fierce on the pitch, you have to tackle your opponents and learn how to use them. Remember, football is a man's game! I hope today's class can leave a deep impression on you! ”
As he spoke, Roy Keane patted Yu Liang on the shoulder and turned to leave the court.
Yu Liang, who was standing on the sidelines, looked at Roy Keane's back, and didn't understand what Keane meant. (To be continued.) )
